well i really can't call it fashionably late...just really late. but i decided to join park city girl'sonline quilt festival.tomorrow's the last day to enter.a little about this quilt:this was my first quilt that i made that had triangles in it. yes, that was only last year mind you. up to that point i had made a lot of square blocked quilts and one buggy barn quilt...and that's it. i finally got the nerve to try something a little more advance (for me).i think of this quilt as my hurdle of finally getting over being scared of trying new things in quilting.i still consider myself a very beginner quilter.VEEEEERRRRY beginner.but most defitnitely i'm excited to keep going and learning.and i'm not afraid anymore.

Your quilt is crisp, colorful, and fun! You did a wonderful job on your first attempt at triangles. I am self-taught; each new quilt I made had one new thing in it I'd never done before. Keep up the beautiful work!

I love this too! I've been admiring it on your header! I've always had a thing for pinwheels since I saw Meg Ryan's quilt in You've Got Mail. I've been wanting to try one - did you use half-square triangles?

I have always loved this quilt. I even bought some fabric to make one of my own, but I don't like the fabric as well as what you used so I'm having a tough time wanting to actually use it! How fun that you got to meet camille, or maybe you already know her. Your blog and hers are the two blogs that I check daily. I'd love to meet you both sometime but I think I'd looks like one chubby woman standing next to the two of you!

If you think you are a very beginner quilter then you must be a prodigy, cause it is awesome!! Thank you for the chandie advice. One of my friend's suggested red or black, so now I am totally confused!! ;)Elise

When I first got my sewing machine last December, I used this pattern as well for my practice piece. I will be revisiting this again because it is such a lovely pattern to show off the colors (planning to use solid cotton sateen I think).

I copied this quilt after seeing your pinwheel tut.....it is at the quilters as we speak...my husband liked it so much I am going to make another one that we are donating in memory of his parents (we lost both of them in 2008) we are donating it to The Hospice House, we thought the colors were cheery and who does not like a pinwheel?

Have you ever thought about setting up a flickr page for people to post pictures of things you have posted on Moda or of tuts on your blog?
